The police in Australia found much cocaine. It is 2,7 tonnes. This is a new record for the country. The drugs were in bunkers under the earth. These bunkers were in a suburb of Sydney. Sydney is a big city in Australia. The cocaine was hidden under big ship containers. The containers had false floors.
The drugs have a high value. They cost nearly 500 million Euro. The police searched for a crime group. This group sells drugs all over the world. The police now found more than 3 tonnes of drugs. This includes the drug Methamphetamin. The drugs arrived at the coast of Queensland first.
The police caught 2 men. They are 21 and 25 years old. The men wanted to run away. That did not work. Now they expect a long punishment. They can go to prison for a long time. Cocaine is very expensive in Australia. Many smugglers want to sell their drugs there.
